Police said the shots were fired shortly after 4 a.m. on Thursday, when an altercation broke out during a social gathering.

Then, at 1:15 p.m. Thursday, police were called to Falconer Street near Thayer Street after receiving a report of several shots fired at a moving vehicle, according to police.

No injuries were reported.

At 2:45 p.m. Friday at 344 E. 4th St., police officers responded to a report of multiple shots fired at an occupant in an apartment, authorities said.

The person was not struck, and the shooter fled the scene, according to Jamestown police.

A third incident occurred at 8 p.m. Friday near Lakeview at Euclid Avenue, where a vehicle driving by was reportedly hit once after multiple shots were fired, according to Jamestown police. Again, there were no reports of injuries, police said.
